Why Mental Pictures Can Sway our Moral Judgment
I'm a bit disappointed the hacker news crowd up-voted this to the #1 position.

I should apologize for saying "terrible". That was mean-spirited. The description seems a little foggy but it is hard to explain. I'd say math is full of teachers facing multiple pressures that results in them seeming terrible. They aren't terrible in scheme of things either.
I think you are missing something.

If I understood the article’s example, he’s suggesting the (perfectly plausible) use case of a new blog post named, e.g., `hasOwnProperty`. Then they would want to set a key named `hasOwnProperty` in the `posts` object, but `hasOwnProperty` is already defined (via inheritance, since all objects have it) as a function (well, native code)… so now you have either (a) prevented your blog from allowing a reasonable blog post title, or (b) seriously mucked up your blog by accepting a blog post title that has the side effect of redefining a basic object method.

The author is not confused.

Hard-Learned Startup Lessons
Asking USPTO to invalidate patents issued by USPTO is more often than not a bad idea ( like in Eolas' case). Forcing the same bureaucrats to admit that they were wrong in issuing the patent is not the best strategy. The most resultant way is to have a patent invalidated by court (again like in Eolas' case), but it's more expensive.

"When You Feel Like Your Social Circle Is Indifferent To You"

"Social Mistakes Intellectual People Can Make"

Just start clicking around randomly and you'll probably find an article that draws your attention. Hope it helps any of you folks out there who see that they may be doing something wrong but can't figure out what it is.
Bitcasa is also in the same realm, although I think Bitcasa has some cooler de-dupe technology.
Some relevant facts:

1) Ridesharing has been around for decades. There were high-tech phone-based ridesharing programs in the 90s. I don't think anyone claims the idea of sharing rides itself is new.

2) There are many ridesharing services including us (http://www.ridejoy.com), Zimride, and Carpooling.com, where drivers give passengers a ride to someplace the driver is already going.

Lyft (a new offshoot of Zimride) and Sidecar have appropriated/redefined "rideshare" because it sounds friendlier and less commercial than "car service". Uber doesn't use the word rideshare.

3) Having used both Lyft and Sidecar extensively, the fact that it's a commercial transaction doesn't change the fact that the experience with either one is generally as good as, sometimes much better than, actual taxicabs in SF. It's also a bit cheaper and you're more likely to actually get one. Hopefully the state just requires adequate protections instead of killing these very useful services.

The iPhone 5 is the newest and has the latest and greatest LTE modem from Qualcomm (MDM9615M) while the others are on year old stuff most likely (especially the hotspot devices).

And he doesn't say whether he was tethering on the iPhone/iPad/Galaxy Nexus, but going over two wireless networks instead of one for the hotspots could also be killer.
Right, you need to know certain things. But the point of the question is not that you know what a B-tree is a have memorized a fact about the btree. The point is the followup question, which requires you to understand the consequences of using different kinds of trees. That's not the sort of thing you memorize, it's the sort of thing you internalize. If you can't answer the second question, you probably wouldn't know enough about trees to be able to casually think about certain problems you might come across in "systems programming".

This actually seems "okay" to me. Yes, it's a very demanding profile considering her age and physical appearance, but she doesn't mention anything regarding academic pedigree, profession, or salary (which is what 99% of these women ask for right away). All her requests are w.r.t. personality, character, hobbies, etc.

It's actually kind of refreshing to see a post of this kind w/o the typical 5,000,000+ JPY/YR requirement.
How is that perfect? With the exception of the home server and OS preferences, the rest seem pretty reasonable requests (if strangely specific) for a well-rounded, grounded person.

Yes, that was rather surprising to me. No requests in that department, but let's be honest: 99% of people who fit her requirements are going to be able to fulfill the usual 学歴/年収 requirements as well. After all, most people with this sort of technical knowledge will be gainfully employed in the IT industry.
Riding a train is more relaxing than driving....
If that's the case, things are so efficient that things will spill over in those ways, why not open the exchanges to everyone. Anyone should be able to list a company for zero cost, and anyone can purchase stock in anything for zero cost and no net worth requirements. The competitivness of the market will sort it all out.
Yes, I have to agree: this is a creep filter, basically. Showing that you have strong relationships both maintained from your past relationships as well as currently, is incredibly important for those things that matter in the long run to anyone who wants a family: being a part of a strong community, showing that you care about your relationships enough to nurture them and sustain them, etc. There are some goofy things on this list, but this strikes me as evidence of maturity, however awkwardly expressed.

>After a couple of seconds the girl says "Maybe if you try swiping it in the middle it will help."

Personally, I'd find that way of expressing it slightly annoying, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it's worded as a suggestion without saying why this suggestion is worth considering. Maybe if I tried swiping it while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy, it would also help?

The way that I would word this sort of suggestion is, "I've noticed that I have better luck when I swipe it in the middle." That's just a helpful fact, devoid of prescription, while also expressing to some degree that I have been similarly frustrated by the device in the past.

Then again, I probably have Asperger's too, so what do I know?

We let drivers offer rides to places they're already heading to, and we cap pricing at the IRS reimbursement rate of about 50c/mile. This is very different from services like Sidecar and Lyft that compete with taxis, which in SF are around $3/mile and hire drivers to pick up passengers.

We didn't receive a C&D from CA, and I doubt we will :)
Brilliant, terrifying, wonderfully crafted and well-communicated work. Where do we go from here?
Both Chrome and Firefox show warnings when a page uses the fullsrceen API. Is there a browser out there that doesn't?
The demo you've put together is very nice. It even accounts for the different UI styling of individual browsers. However in all cases that the link worked, I received a very large warning that has to be manually dismissed.

This is not a rhetorical question; do you think people would ignore the warning and continue to use the site?

An easier phishing technique would be to manipulate the address to appear legitimate using pushState.

Great job! But originally, I opened that link in a new tab while I was still reading the article. It obviously did not work :P I've this habit of opening most links in a new tab!
What about technology putting people out of work in the goods sector and then those out of work people trying to get jobs in the services sector? The high rates in services coupled with out-of-work goods employees seeking to now perform services jobs should act as a self-correcting force on prices in education and healthcare.

I know that there is "retraining friction", but that should be temporary and shouldn't lag more than a few years (1-4 years) on average.

It doesn't need to just apply to people who lose their jobs in goods, but also people who are never trained to perform those jobs at all when younger because it had been forecasted that those jobs would be automated away.
I don't know about your browser, but mine (Chrome 22) showed a very obvious warning that my browser was now in fullscreen mode.

I certainly wouldn't be tricked by this, but someone less technically savvy could be.

> Showing that you have strong relationships both maintained from your past relationships

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't consider a Facebook relationship to be "strong".
That's clever. It was pretty obvious to me, since I run Chrome in presentation mode (no UI elements visible) and Chrome popped up a dialog box telling me about the switch to full-screen mode. Still, I can see how a lot of people could be tricked by this. I can't think of a better solution than extant phishing site blacklists.

Full-screen mode can be useful, but it and other HTML5 features can be used for phishing or to generally annoy users. I'm wondering how soon it will be before someone makes the HTML5-equivalent of ClickToFlash.

The concept is clever, and very interesting.

However, most users (even experienced users) don't look at the url when visiting information-sensitive websites and www.bankofamerica.fsh4.com would still not alarm them. They don't understand the SSL icon either.
I'm still searching for the blog post I was thinking about; I apologize for not being able to yet locate it.

The statement about doing "real work" is right on the money for why and how this experiential model might transfer into other industries and economic spheres. The aerospace example is rather a wonderful counter-example for those very reasons. But wherever the ragged red edge of the world is (at the border where software is eating it) I think that this model of education and experience will trump existing forms of credentials.

From the Mark Lemley paper quoted elsewhere on this page:

Economic theory offers no justification for
awarding creators anything beyond what is necessary to recover their average fixed costs.

I think I'm fairly happy putting my faith in him knowing how economics works.

I think, contrary to your suggestion, that plenty of people are already fed up with the same old movie sequels and annual releases by the same computer game franchises and so on. But that's what happens when the system doesn't effectively support those who would create more interesting alternatives, which typically aren't as profitable on a first outing but cost more to produce.

Do you think Notch would have problems raising funding on Kickstarter? How about Quentin Tarantino? How about Amanda Palmer, of the Dresden Dolls? How about the XX? Stuff which has a cult following seems to fare well under the patronage model.

Most of the really high budget stuff turns out to be fairly derivative. There are exceptions, but they're rare.
Gross. Sexist much?

There are different social standards for men and women having almost nothing to do with appearance. While a man might appear to be passive aggressive in a negative way if his advice isn't assertive enough, a woman will look like a pushy bitch if she's too assertive. It cuts both ways.
This is true, I saw it too. But a popup telling the user to 'Allow Fullscreen?' is semantically equivalent to "Click Yes If You Want To Log On To Your Bank" for most users.

The least savvy are UI-blind, a big portion won't realize a transition just occurred, and a great majority of them will not read the warning beyond the first line.
> JS Can't even perform integer math

Can you explain the integer math thing? What exactly can't it do?
Bonkers, currently exchanges are only open from 9:30am to 4pm EST Mon-Fri. So your "doomsday" argument is equally applicable - most companies make announcements outside trading hours and most unhedged investor loose money once marker opens if announcement is negative.
It is relatively higher, not really higher. As a fraction of average hourly wage, tuition is cheaper than ever. Problem is that wages are not evenly distributed.
If that is the case, how is it a significantly worse problem than a regular link to a fake site?
Less bothered about the spying than about what happens with the information obtained - which of those 2 countries has kidnapped people recently then tortured them and sometimes killed them in the process? Or alternatively, just fired off missiles, dismissing the collateral deaths. I'd far sooner be spied on by either country than have them suspect me of anything. There are no good guys to be seen in this story.
Thanks. I get mixed opinions with the domain name. Some like it, some not so much. The initial idea was along "Poe3, Poetry by 3 people".

One reason I like it is that it is very short. Even with random alphabets, four letter domains are hard to come by. eg: www.poe3.com/123 (123rd poem), www.poe3.com/jeswin (my profile).
I've heard of Google offering trade credit for large advertisers, this seems to be a more mainstream way to accomplish the same thing while allowing them to charge 12% APR.

Seems like a fairly intelligent idea, but I can only see people with poor credit using this card long-term. Anyone with good enough credit to qualify for any good points card would be stupid to not use that instead.
JS has all sorts of problems, but I don't think being async by default is one of them. It's different, yes, but being async by default can be really useful for some tasks.
Indeed. No one should be pitied for losing money in the stock market. If you know what you're doing, you'll know that there's risk involved; if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't be picking stocks in the first place.

People who lose out by being on the selling-too-low side of arbitrage have nothing to complain about. If you had a stop-loss order, you cede your position to the possibility of being sold too low. Moral being that like you said, if you're investing in something that might warrant a stop-loss order, you should be sophisticated enough to use something better instead.
Not the keynote, and this feature was mentioned on one of Forstall's slides.
Chris Sacca's Story is Incredible
Same here. I have an addiction to opening everything remotely interesting in a new tab, and my initial reaction was "I don't think this worked?"

Otherwise, it's pretty frightening, because I can imagine that in spite of the browser warnings, there are many non-savvy users who probably wouldn't give it a second thought.

As a KDE user, the blatant Gnome UI was kind of glaring but otherwise well done. ;)
I'd like to know why erlang doesn't count?

There are plenty of reasons to use JS, like "I already know it" if you're a front-end dev, "It's our only option on the client-side and using the same language everywhere is a good idea", or "V8 is heavily optimized so I can not care about performance and usually my code will run fast enough."

Actually that last one is nice. If you don't do anything too stupid, and break up work into lots of little pieces that are called exactly when they're needed, and share as little state as possible, your code runs /much/ faster and is much easier to reason about. node.js gives you those last two properties by default.

Perhaps "JS is inordinately popular for how bad of a language it is", and "Only erlang has the same concurrency model" are related. You can write something that runs as fast in another language or environment, but you won't be able to write it nearly as easily.
"do you think people would ignore the warning and continue to use the site?"

I actually made this demo back in April but just got around to posting about it now. In the meantime, Firefox and Chrome have made their warning messages more prominent. Still, I think it's a pretty major issue.

Experienced web users won't be fooled by something like this. But, even if 1% of users are fooled by this technique, that's still potentially thousands of innocent web users, which I think is unacceptable.
Fake and malicious URLS can be filtered against and intercepted. This trick dodges those systems... but it still requires a malicious 'source' page to serve it up. Hrm.

I imagine all of the payload (save for the return trip) could be put into innocent looking client-side Javascript, but that doesn't get around the fact that someone's still got to serve the JS...

Let me get this straight, you do not know how to set up version control, therefore knowing how to set up version control is useless?

It does not work when you open the link in a new tab. The font on the screenshot is not the same that I have when I go to their website, so that would alarm me. Otherwise it's pretty clever.
Yeah, I mean, assuming they are on FB is silly, but having them at all is an important thing, I think, which is what she is saying I believe.
Good question. The key difference is that using the Fullscreen API let's you fake the "green location bar" which, thanks to hundreds of PSAs from the tech community over the years, has become synonymous with "this site is safe and secure".

I've never actually understood why the async thing is so hated. Spend some time in node, and you'll get used to it.

A couple weeks ago I was writing a php script, and it actually felt awkward to query a database and then do something "immediately" after with the result.

It isn't terrible, it's just different. And if you aren't used to it, it'll feel weird at first. This goes away with exposure and experience.
